Can I drive myself to Pearl Harbor?

Tours to Pearl Harbor include both transportation and professional narration. The guide will help you to make the most of your experience at Pearl Harbor.

Tours also include the tickets. Often, visitors who drive themselves arrive at Pearl Harbor and wait in line, only to receive a ticket for the Arizona Memorial program that is three hours later. Or worse, tickets are sold out.

Parking at Pearl Harbor is limited and may not be available when you arrive.

If you are interested in visiting the Battleship Missouri, the Oklahoma Memorial, or the Pacific Aviation Museum, you should take a tour. Only authorized drivers and vehicles are allowed to drive across the Admiral Clarey Bridge to Ford Island, where those sites are located.
